Disney announced Thursday plans to develop a new live-action Star Wars TV series. Disney CEO Bob Iger revealed the news during an investors call, saying the new series will be exclusively shown on Disney's streaming service, which is set to debut in 2019. This news about the Star Wars series airing on Disney's streaming service makes sense considering the company recently said all Marvel and Star Wars films would be removed from Netflix in 2019.

There are currently no details on whether the new Star Wars series will have familiar characters from the films, animated series, books, comics and video games, or if this will be a brand new world with different characters, like the upcoming Star Wars film trilogy helmed by Rian Johnson.

is it really too much for them to throw a bone at the audience and just say a vague info like, it's set in this time period, it will follow a band of smugglers or whatever... how would it hurt their plans? I think it would spark more discussions... these generic announcement are pointless
